My kingdom for more supercharger whine!!
Just purchased a 2010 XFR (80k miles), and contrary to all my previous (30+) cars, I want to hold on to this one... I love it.
I drove a 2002 XKR a while back, and the supercharger whine of the (3.9 or 4.2l, not sure which) just ENTHRALLED me... Put a smile on my face every time I stepped on the gas.
My 5.0SC has barely noticeable whine.
Is there any way to increase it? I know it's ridiculous, but I guess I'm a child in a man's body ;-)
If the solution is to swap air filters for performance filters, any recommendation or consensus on which model to take which will not adversely affect reliability?
Thanks,
Pete

Personal experience has been Mina Gallery Intake Tube, both styles of K&N filters (come without intake box and then the panel OE style inside the factory intake boxes) and then a slight “porting” of the SC about and TB. Let me tell you, this thing whines amazingly. An incredible driving experience upgrade vs OEM. Not only that but at WOT it is quite honestly one of my favorite sounds. I take routes with long straights as much as possible just to hear it.
